Meet the KC-957 Gyutou — a precision Japanese chef knife engineered for decisive, consistent cuts from prep to plate.
Crafted in Seki, Japan, the KC-957 centers on a DSR-1K6 high carbon stainless steel blade forged by Daido Steel Co., Ltd. This blade blends reliable edge retention with practical corrosion resistance and a tested hardness of HRC 58, so your cuts stay clean and precise task after task. Featuring a 210 mm (8.3 inches) blade, it strikes an ideal balance between reach and control for a wide range of kitchen tasks. The finish matters. The distinctive Tsuchime hammered texture reduces suction, helping foods release quickly as you slice, chop, and mince. Paired with a traditional wood handle, this Gyuto delivers a balanced, confident feel in the hand, supporting steady, repeatable results through long prep sessions. Why this knife stands out:
Versatile 210 mm blade for vegetables, fruit, herbs, and meat with equal poise.
0.6% carbon with molybdenum for a durable edge that’s responsive to sharpening and maintenance.
Professional-grade edge that yields uniform chops, slices, and minces for restaurant-quality results at home.
Tsuchime hammered finish to promote fast food release and efficient prep.
Made in Seki, Japan — a region renowned for expert blade crafting and timeless craftsmanship.
Wood handle for a classic aesthetic paired with a comfortable, confident grip.
Ideal for a wide range of cooks — from serious home chefs building essential knife skills to small-kitchen professionals who need a single, reliable blade for multiple tasks. The KC-957 Gyutou handles everything from delicate herb chiffonades to sturdy meat portioning, without switching blades. Practical use scenarios:
Chopping onions, garlic, and peppers into uniform pieces for even cooking. Slicing fruits like melons and citrus with clean, precise edges. Dicing carrots, zucchini, and potatoes with minimal sticking thanks to the Tsuchime finish. Portioning beef, pork, or poultry for consistent cooking results.
Maintenance note: To preserve the blade’s edge and finish, hand wash and thoroughly dry after use. Store in a knife block or sheath to protect the edge when not in use. Experience the Kanetsune KC-957 Gyutou — a knife that brings restaurant-grade performance into your home kitchen, built for accuracy, durability, and the enduring art of Japanese cutlery.
